yeah.. (don't)works

don't get anyone from the bay area started. They were pretty good, but for the money there are much better options these days.

GST is not tuning evos that I am aware of. They used too, but you can always call and find out for sure.

FFTEC seems like the place to go these days. They have built a solid reputation in the south SF bay area through hard work and good service.

This.

Best tuner is only doing side work for CBRD AFAIK. He only tunes in exchange for hairless trannies.

Yeah it looks like it. $800 is pretty pricey for a tune. Other shops are at $400. I get that they're very good, but twice the price?

honestly i do not hesitate in throwing any and all reputation on the line in saying fftec is the best bay area shop for evos. when ive gotten tuned in the past it was $200/hr for dyno services. for my dual map 91/e85, it was 2 hrs/1.5 hrs so $700. I do not regret dropping those bills so that sean would touch my car lol.

check out evoempire.org for all the juicy testimonials.
